The code they're complaining about was ported to android by me, and I
must say that the code isn't at all optimised for that use case. It
wouldn't be too difficult to strip out about 95% of the code and leave a
simple DNS query library.

I didn't care enough to do it, and I observe that neither did the
developer you spoke to.
